Description

The Rural Health Education Foundation has developed a series of four professional development programs surrounding the new NHMRC endorsed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DN) clinical guidelines.

The programs are designed to assist clinicians, health services and policy makers with a focus on prevention, detection, and management of type 2 diabetes. They include live panel discussions with leading clinicians in the area of diabetes and are chaired by Dr Norman Swan. Case studies, filmed on location, showcase innovative approaches to best practice prevention, diagnosis and management of T2DM.

The programs that make up the series are:

blood glucose control, patient education in type 2 diabetes

diabetic retinopathy, chronic kidney disease

primary prevention, case detection and diagnosis

diabetes and Indigenous Australians.

Rural Health Education Foundation ceased operations in 2014. The resource can now be viewed on YouTube - Rural Health channel.
